About
the sonic fabric neckties are a limited-edition project made in collaboration with my designer friend julio cesar. sonic fabric is woven from 50% recorded audio cassette tape and 50% colored thread the fabric is actually audible if you run a tape head over it! (if you’d like a demo, please visit my youtube channel at alyceobvious.
the idea behind the tie is that the wearer becomes a beacon for other-dimensional, intangible, subtle forces of good…much in the manner of a superhero. only this part of the superhero garb can be worn on the outside in the most conservative environment without detection! looks equally great with dress shirt or t-shirt. this tie is the medium version – 2" wide at the widest point. i also make a super skinny one, and a slightly wider version for more mature audiences. all are available here at supermarket.
the sound collages recorded onto the tape for this batch of ties comes from my cd between stations, and is based on looped and layered samples collected on and under the streets of nyc.
the ties come in three colors: dark brown (woven with brown tape and black thread), black (black thread, black tape), and light gray (gray thread, black tape). this one is GRAY. each comes packaged with a descriptive cardstock label.
THIS COLOR WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR SHIPPING IMMEDIATELY AFTER CHRISTMAS!
